==== 10.5.3.2 Translating Climate Information Into the User Context ====

<div id="h3-51-siblings" class="h3-siblings"></div>

Awareness and understanding of the users’ decision-making context is a central and key aspect of developing tailored, context-appropriate information ( [[#Briley--2015|Briley et al., 2015]] ), as clearly evidenced by the climate services’ experiences (e.g., [[#Vincent--2018|Vincent et al., 2018]] ). Understanding the context, however, is not trivial and requires understanding of both the user and provider ( [[#Guido--2020|Guido et al., 2020]] ) if the information is to be robust, reliable and relevant ( [[#Giorgi--2020|Giorgi, 2020]] ). Translating the information into context requires consideration of terminology and expectations ( [[#Briley--2015|Briley et al., 2015]] ), issues of user interpretation ( [[#Daron--2015|Daron et al., 2015]] ), and hence necessitating engagement in co-production with all attendant challenges ( [[#Vincent--2021|Vincent et al., 2021]] ). The actual provision of climate information may be conducted at different levels of sophistication, ranging from generic data provision via web portals ( [[#Hewitson--2017|Hewitson et al., 2017]] ), potentially including impact-relevant climate indicators, region-specific factsheets and stakeholder reports, social media ( [[#Pearce--2019|Pearce et al., 2019]] ), to a close engagement with specific stakeholders in co-exploring the research ( [[#Steynor--2016|Steynor et al., 2016]] ).

Climate information products may often lack explanations of their potential use and misuse ( [[#Street--2016|Street, 2016]] ; [[#Lamb--2017|Lamb, 2017]] ; [[#Chimani--2020|Chimani et al., 2020]] ). This is particularly important if the information is provided as a generic, publicly accessible product without a specific context ( [[#Hewitson--2017|Hewitson et al., 2017]] ). Context-specific collaboration, especially if organized in workshop, enables a close transdisciplinary co-exploration of the results as in the form of climate risk narratives ( [[#Jack--2020|Jack et al., 2020]] , Box 10.2). Such approaches explicitly account for the user context, values and non-climatic stressors ( [[#Steynor--2019|Steynor and Pasquini, 2019]] ).
